"Regular readers of this blog will know that we have posted
numerous warnings in recent years about the very poor fire safety
standards at Grenfell Tower and elsewhere in RBKC (Royal Borough
of Kensington and Chelsea)."

"ALL OUR WARNINGS FELL ON DEAF EARS and we predicted that a
catastrophe like this was inevitable and just a matter of time."

Kensington and Chelsea council declined to comment when contacted
by Business Insider. Nicholas Paget-Brown, the leader of the
council, told the BBC a "thorough investigation is needed." He
said that council buildings undergo fire inspections and safety
guidance is issued to residents.

Wednesday's Grenfell Action Group blog post went on to list a
number of links to previous blogs posted on the site "trying to
warn" Kensington and Chelsea council and the Kensington and
Chelsea Tenant Management Organisation (KCTMO).

"It is a truly terrifying thought but the Grenfell Action Group
firmly believe that only a catastrophic event will expose the
ineptitude and incompetence of our landlord, the KCTMO, and bring
an end to the dangerous living conditions and neglect of health
and safety legislation that they inflict upon their tenants and
leaseholders."

"We believe that the KCTMO are an evil, unprincipled, mini-mafia
who have no business to be charged with the responsibility of
looking after the everyday management of large scale social
housing estates and that their sordid collusion with the RBKC
Council is a recipe for a future major disaster."

The post went on to say the Grenfell Action Group thought that
"only an incident that results in serious loss of life of KCTMO
residents," such as a "serious fire in a tower block," would make
the landlord pay attention.

The Tower narrowly avoided a "major fire disaster" in 2013,
according to the blog, after a period of "terrifying power
surges" caused by faulty wiring.

"We believe that our attempts to highlight the seriousness of
this event were covered up by the KCTMO with the help of the RBKC
Scrutiny Committee who refused to investigate the legitimate
concerns of tenants and leaseholders."

A number of other fire safety scandals have also been reported on
the blog.
